Megdöbbenve látom, hogy ez az alak még él.

Allerdings waren die verschiedenen queeren Orgas in Dtland auch schon vor dem Krieg voll im Einsatz für queere palestinensische Geflüchtete, denen die Hamas das Leben wörtlich unmöglich machte. Ein queerfreundliches Palästina ist zurzeit eine Illusion.

Nobody will remember him in a year from now, his wife will continue with her political vaudeville for a while longer, but then life will catch up with her.

Comparisons with Hitler abound, but Miller and co. really follow the Lenin and Stalin playbook.

Tatsächlich eine sehr interessante Folge. Es ist allerdings nervig, dass die Moderator:innen ganz leise und schläfrig vor sich hinnuscheln und sich ganz offensichtlich nicht ernst nehmen. Als wäre es irgendwie eine lästige Extraufgabe.

Tatsächlich gibt es manche linke Ungarn. Allerdings leben wir fast alle in Berlin (oder in Wien).

My favorite cartoon strip, Peanuts, was introduced to the world on October 2nd, 1950. Today we celebrate 75 years of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the beloved Peanuts gang. #HappyBirthday

Also, Coates is simply smarter than Klein.

My family and I have lived through several authoritarian turns and believe me: that does not happen. People forget swiftly, they move on, shapeshift and carry on regardless. Half of the current leadership in Hungary used to be members of the Communist Party and the former secret service.

Es ist ein sehr interessantes Gespräch. Allerdings wäre es auch interessant zu verstehen, wozu das der Union überhaupt gut war. Was wollten sie erreichen, ausser, dass sie das Leben von Spahn schwer machen wollten? Ich fürchte, das war alles, was dahinter steckte.

Coates is just so much smarter, more compassionate and authentic, so that Klein is simply no match to him with his clumsy wordsmithing and whataboutism.

Klein has, over the years, been consumed by the common faith of pundits and successful journalists (and politicians): he has been locked into his self-love, blinded by his narcissism and isolated from reality. Admitting errors would ultimately damage the brand that he has become.

Even otherwise ruthlessly pro-market and turbocapitalist @profgalloway.com called this a “late-stage bubble” yesterday. It will not end well.

We’ll see who has the better compromats. So far, the Russians seem to be winning: they have been completely controlling Orbán for years.

As a Hungarian gay, I am yet to see the Hungarian LGBTQ lobby to show its face. Experience shows that it is even difficult for more than four gays to stay in the same room without tearing into each other immediately.
It is time for Semlyén to disapear forever.

💥Yesterday in Hungary’s parliament, Viktor Orbán ally Deputy Prime Minister Zsolt Semjén suddenly stood to deny rumors—never even addressed to him directly—linking him to a scandal over the sexual exploitation of teens from a children’s home.

He hinted he’s targeted by the “LGBTQ lobby’s” revenge.

„Wir haben die Brisanz unterschätzt“: Berliner SPD-Spitzenkandidat Krach räumt Fehler bei Wohnungspolitik ein

Bei seiner ersten großen Rede macht Krach klar, mit welchen Themen er im Wahlkampf punkten will. Begeisterung löste er bei den zahlreichen SPD-Gästen nur selten aus.

Look at the absolute ruin that the Hungarian economy has become. Astronomical prices, literal poverty in the countryside, a completely dysfunctional industry with oligarchs that are hopelessly unable to compete with anyone outside the country, and on and on.

Finally someone notices! Autocracies and kleptocracies are bad for the economy.
